Tickets hereWhere Does The Light Get In shows the band at both their most vulnerable and in turn, cathartic. Written by Han Mee and Jim Shaw, and recorded/produced in their home studio, this is quintessential Hot Milk.
Jim Shaw from the band says: “Sadness doesn’t last forever, but when it consumes you it feels like it’s there for eternity. Essentially this song is a cry out for a change in circumstances. It’s hard seeing someone close to you in pain and feeling powerless to change it. I wanted to exacerbate the vulnerability of this song so I began as stripped back as I could, me and a piano, and played what you can hear as soon as the song starts. We wanted the lyrics to come across almost like a prayer so we brought in the girls in Espera to record a choir and act as the response in the chorus.”
Sharing further thoughts on the emotionally charged track, Mee expands, “this song is its own beast that came from a place of great torment and suffering, matters of the heart are rarely touched by our band but after the last year put me into a place I never wish to return I couldn’t not write this song. It was a necessity.”
That necessity unearths in the form of the standalone single Where Does The Light Get In, a track that revels in emotion as much as it does ambition. Boasting the signature HOT MILK penchant for charismatic pop-rock songcraft, it displays sonic scholarship from their expeditions to stateside stadiums, with string-sections and choirs further indulging their already well-stocked anthemic arsenal.
Han Mee states “This is as Hot Milk as it gets. Hot Milk is an emotion, all of them” and here they yet again deliver a surefire fan favourite, one that will see their increasing hoards simultaneously tantalised and tearful.
